Default Steering upgrade

I was wondering if there is anywhere I can get a complete steering upgrade kit. Knocked links and everything. Also I'm wondering what the benefit of having a chassis mounted servo?

Check with Vanquish and Blue Monkey. I use the VP 8* cubs and knuckles for more steering. Sorry, I don't know what "Knocked Links" are. Advantage to CMS is for a more scale appearance. I like my servos on the axle.

What is VP 8* knuckles? I searched google but didn't see anything. And what I mean was steering links. I hate seeing how the stock steering links flex so much when the tires are not just easily turned.

You said you wanted a complete steering upgrade. VP is Vanquish products. They sell metal tie rods, drag links, and metal links to upgrade your plastic links. 8*= 8 degree c hubs and knuckles that will not only upgrade but improve your turning radius. Hope this helps a little more than my first reply.

Makes a lot more since I have started gathering materials to build my own links and I have a lvl3 cms with pan head on order after that I plan on doing the hubs and knuckles and probably a servo.

Just an FYI, its a Panhard bar.

From Wikipedia: A Panhard rod (also called Panhard bar) is a suspension link that provides lateral location of the axle.[1] Originally invented by the Panhard automobile company of France in the early twentieth century, this device has been widely used ever since.

I was told that the newer lower wider 4 link set up from lvl 3 would work. If it doesn't well then I guess I will just have to stick with the three link.
